It's been cold as fuck around here lately (by our standards), being in the 20's at night and high 30's during the day, getting tired of it...Luckily, after that cold period is over, around mid February, then we get about 8 straight months of the same hot/dry weather.

Just sayin', to you 40 degree (F, single digit C) winter coat wearing wussies. I went outside in this, in a t-shirt and basketball shorts, to start the car and bring stuff out. Eyes immediately watering and I could feel them start to freeze, hair got a bit frozen, and nips aren't meant to get so hard. TBH, I can't believe the car even started. This is some piss in the wind and watch it freeze mid-air shit (well, no wind, no wind chill, but still).

-22 F

I guess all the hot weather slow cooks our brains and when it gets cold we just freeze up. I wonder if we are secretly being eaten by some phenomenon and then put in a fridge to be preserved and just don't know it.

So I applied as a web developer for a government company here in the Philippines. Luckily I will have a final interview this coming friday. Now my girlfriend is also working there and her supervisor just told one of the employees that they will not renew my girlfriend's contract if ever they hire me.

Wtf is that? At the first place they should have not consider me for a job if they don't want any of their employees in a relationship.

lol no, she have a husband and kids. We practically leave in the same town just minutes apart from my house. I don't know if she have some issue with my family or something but my mom said she doesn't know her.

There's probably all sorts of legal mumbo jumbo* that translates into HR saying "fuck no don't have them both here that's potential trouble for us, think of the paperwork" (this is why most companies want you disclose any office romances) and since you're obviously more valuable to the "company" they said "if we have to choose, dump the bitch, hire the retard."

Ok so I just had the interview, everyone seems nice and I like their office. It has good aura. So her supervisor came and keep talking that we can't be on the same division. Their boss overheard her and ask why? The supervisor didn't even say a word, she just look at her boss.

Got the box the other day, and for hahas plugged it back in before sending it out. Sure enough, it worked. I left it on for 12 hours, no problems. 3D works fine, HD works fine, as if nothing happened.

Figure I'll hold on to the box just in case, because these things do have a fun failure rate.

So, to follow up on this. We unplugged the room for electrical work going on and when I plugged everything back in, sure enough, the TV stopped working once again.

Turns out I am just an idiot. My wife lectured me on how you should always plug a cord into the wall first, then plug it into the device after. If you don't, the shock could affect the device and was triggering some kind of fail safe in the TV I guess. Nevertheless, unplugging the cable from the TV and plugging it into the wall before doing the TV side worked and "fixed" the TV.

I bet it says that in the TV manual and someone didn't have time to read it.

Leftos did it first! so he's still cooler than you!

My application for CSU has been forwarded to my second preference (San Bernardino)

i honestly don't know much about the school even though it's here in southern california. it's one of the less popular schools out here, probably of its location, a bit further away from all the "cool" places to live
